History

In late 2012, John of MWTS started experimenting with a laser pointer, a webcam, and a computer. Through a local gun forum, he got in contact with Jason of Centrolutions, a software developer, and they turned John's idea into a piece of software. After a bit of development and polishing, LASR: Laser Activated Shot Reporter Version 1.0 was released in early 2013.

Both John and Jason continue to work as partners on the software as they develop more features and functions. LASR has had a number of minor and major version upgrades. Most recently LASR 4.2 was released, and just like all updates, was free for all users. The software has been featured in a number of magazines, blogs, video channels, and John and Jason can be found at most major events in the firearms industry, including SHOT show and the NRA Annual Member's Meeting.

In late 2018 we released LASR X. LASR X is a browser-based web app, allowing LASR to run on ANY device with an internet connection. The original LASR software was renamed to LASR Classic to avoid confusion, as it is still the best option for many users. Both products will continue to be sold, developed, and supported for the forseeable future.

Jason Williams

Co-Creator/ Senior Developer / Financial

Jason discovered a love for software development at a very young age. Throughout his schooling he created small games and taught himself different programming languages. Later, his hobby became his profession. He has created custom software for various industries, including insurance, retail, wholesale, distribution, accounting, and many more.

As a side project, Jason created his own company, Centrolutions, and in 2012 it became his full time job. When John asked Jason if he could develop the software for his idea, Jason was excited to work on a project that combined his love of writing software and his interest in firearms...and L.A.S.R. was born. It has since become a major part of what Centrolutions does and Jason enjoys it very much.
